Exchange Students
The School of English welcomes international students, both as students on our degree courses and also as incoming exchange students for one or two semesters. Many members of staff in the School have an international background and enjoy teaching and researching in a thriving international community.
The School recognises that incoming exchange students come from different educational backgrounds and we have tried to cater for your different needs. Some incoming exchange students will not have covered certain aspects of the degree programme and may find it difficult to join some of our modules. We want all exchange students to do well at Nottingham and enjoy their time in the School. That is why we have allocated different students into different groups.
The credits indicated are the total allowed for the full period of exchange. For example, if the allotment is 60 credits, a student coming for one semester can take the full 60 credits during that semester. If the student is coming for two semesters, the 60 credits can be spread across the two semesters as desired, but cannot total more than 60 credits for the full year. These limits are for the School of English only, and students may be able to take modules in other schools in addition to English modules.

The School cannot guarantee that incoming students will be allocated modules of their first choice, but tries to ensure that students are able to take modules in their preferred field of study.
To see which Level 3 modules are available next year, go to the module catalogue and type in Q33 in the module code.
Unlike other Schools at the University of Nottingham, students wishing to study Level 3 modules in the School of English must apply in advance to be allocated these modules before their arrival in Nottingham.

Students wishing to take subsidiary modules do not need to apply in advance, and can register on arrival in Nottingham.
Any queries about non-academic issues (such as visas, accommodation etc) should be addressed to the International Office .
